Council considered a report which set out proposals for the provision of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations within Bolsover District Council area, following a review that had been undertaken in accordance with the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013.

The report explained that the publication of the Notice of Review had been published on 4^th October 2023.  The consultation period sought representations from Electors, District Councillors, Members of Parliament, Parish and Town Councils, political parties and existing polling place contacts.  The consultation had closed on 30^th October 2023 and a total of three submissions had been received.

A request was made at the meeting to reconsider the South Normanton East Polling Place for Polling District SNE2 as it was the other end of the village for some voters.  This would be considered and a response provided directly to the Councillor.
